Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed its appeal with Ohio’s First District Court of Appeals in Schaad v. Alder—a case challenging the constitutionality of Cincinnati taxing the income of nonresidents who did not work within the city of Cincinnati due to the pandemic. “The Buckeye Institute is confident that the Court of Appeals will follow recent Ohio Supreme Court precedent and recognize that when it comes to taxing nonresidents like Mr. Schaad, cities can only tax work that was actually performed within their borders.”

The Buckeye Institute: July Jobs Report Shows Ohio’s Job Market Continues to Strengthen

Leave a Comment / Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute commented on newly released employment data from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, saying, “Ohio’s private sector has added 50,000 jobs this year…Simply put, more Ohioans are working, and the number of new jobs is climbing. Despite this positive report, Ohio needs to add nearly 250,000 private-sector jobs to get back to its pre-pandemic levels, and unless job creation accelerates in the second half 2021, Ohio is still a long way from seeing a full recovery.”

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed an important amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, which calls upon the court to recognize that the Second Amendment protects ordinary citizens’ fundamental right to carry handguns outside of their homes. The Buckeye Institute simply could not stand by as New York set up a system relegating the fundamental right to self-defense to second-class status and reserving enjoyment of that right almost exclusively for the well-connected and/or celebrities.
